LEGAL SERVICES

DIVORCE

A divorce is the legal process which terminates a marriage. Divorces in Canada are governed by the Divorce Act, which outlines the laws regarding divorce, the laws related to child support, custody and access for children of the marriage and the laws related to spousal support for married spouses.

CUSTODY & ACCESS

When two people have a child, presumptively they have equal rights and equal responsibilities with respect to raising their child. They have an equal right to make decisions about their child’s care and upbringing. This is true whether the parents are married or not.

CHILD SUPPORT

SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Spousal support is money paid by one spouse to the other after they separate or divorce. Spousal support is almost always paid by the spouse with the higher income to the spouse with the lower income. The gender of the spouses does not matter.

PROPERTY DIVISION

It is the growth in the value of property during the marriage that the spouses share equally, and that is known as the Net Family Property (“NFP”). The NFP is calculated as of the Valuation Date (this being the date of separation, the date of divorce, or the date of annulment, whichever is the earliest).

LITIGATION

We will protect your interests as we guide you through the court process. Litigation is a traditional method of resolving Family Law disputes. It provides parties with a decision by a Judge about any number of issues, on a temporary or final basis.
